P.S. Some sentences/dialogues are written in Hindi as per the mood and feel of the story.

Next day

Renuka had called their designers for Sanyukta.

"OMG...all of them are so beautiful" Renuka chirped looking at bridal dresses which their designer had brought.

"Yes Aunty...all of them really pretty. Tough to choose" Sanyukta chirped

"Do one thing..try each one and then choose" Renuka suggested

"Hmm..."She took a orange and red combination dress with her and dashed inside washroom to try it.

While Renuka was looking for some sarees for her.

She came back wearing the dress and stood in front of mirror.

"Lovely..." Renuka chirped from behind.

"Hmm...its good" Sanyukta said but was not convince with the color combo

"Here... try this pink one" Designer suggested

"Yeah..."

She tried the pink one.

"Its good" She said looking at herself in mirror but not appealing much.

"Sanyukta...I'll be just back trying this saree" Renuka informed and left.

Designer was busy showing her collection just when her eyes fell on a red bridal attire.

"Wow..." She mumbled looking at it.

"Let me try this..." She said excitedly.

Later on she came back wearing the red bridal lehenga. But there was no one present in her room.

"No one...Where have all gone?" She asked herself

She headed towards mirror.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

"Its beautiful..."

She heard a familiar voice.

Her eyes rolled at the source of the voice and she found him standing near the door.

Her heart skip a beat as he started taking steps in her direction.

He stood behind her and they both looked at their mirror image.

"Red suits you more...." He whispered in her ears

Their eyes met.

"You look beautiful..." He said and she blushed

He touched her shoulders and turned her.

Now she was facing him. Their eyes still latched with each other.

"Take this..." He said thus breaking her trance.

He started taking steps backward. Her smile disappeared. She so wanted to stop him.

"Randhir...." She tried to stop him.

He turned back. Now she was facing his back.

"Randhirr..." She called him.

He turned back and winked with his trademark smile on his face.

She smiled too but he suddenly disappeared.

She was not able to register anything.

"Was he here?" "Or Am I dreaming?" "He was here or...I am dreaming him?" She thought
